Answers:
Contact rehab ASAP. Let them take care of the bird.
If he's chirping all the time, then he's hungry. Try to get rehab to pick up the baby as soon as possible, really.
If the poo is watery, it could be normal (birds do have watery poo) but if it's overly-so, then he's probably dehydrated. Give him water.
To feed a baby bird water, first get a paintbrush (the cheap plastic ones work fine) make sure there is NO paint on it, of course, and dip it in water. Coax the bird to open his mouth, and brush the paintbrush over the roof of his mouth. This way, he won't choke on the water or get it into his windpipe.
...If you think you really need to feed the bird... the best suggestion I know of for any age bird is soaked dog/cat mix well-blended/liquefied, with tiny amounts of egg yolk, yoghurt, other things with vitamins and etc in it. If you have it, try to feed it to the bird through a straw or blunt plastic syringe at 1/2 cc's. Baby birds need to be fed between ever 30 min to every 3 hours, depending on age and species. Of course, most people can't do this, so...again, take it to rehab ASAP.
Also, if the bird is really young and doesn't have his feathers grown in yet, he needs an incubator or a source of heat!
So please, TAKE IT TO REHAB.
why are you killing the pet
can you not get someone to put it back in the nest.if not a good pet store sells baby bird egg food you are looking for but in the wild they would eat flies etc so there must be a change on to another food for insect eaters,but its better in nest even with sore leg
you shouldn't be feeding it anything! the stomachs of baby birds can't tolerate a lot of stuff. find a wildlife rehabilitator close to you and take it to him or her. you shouldn't do anything but keep it warm and safe from everything.
wait for its mother
I would try to get it back into the nest first. If that is not possible and if it is injured the mother may reject it.
I raised 4 but you feed them dry dog food soaked in water. small pieces. I fed them with tweezers and wood skewer sticks with the food on the end. small pieces about the size of a pea until they get older
feed every 3 hours if it is a new born then you can gradually increase the time between feedings after it grows. Do not feed during the night.
make sure the food is soaked in water,and is soft as this is the only water it will get.
worm`s i guess i have no idea
